State tax filing

No.  The states will not contact each other.  You should get a full refund from Wisconsin (WI) for any withholding on your W2 because you do not live in or work inside of WI. When you prepare your WI return you should see a place to remove the income as you go through the step-by-step screens.

 

Make sure your W2 shows zero wages for WI and the withholding is entered in the adjoining state tax box.

 

When you move through the WI return there may come a screen where you need to enter 'Non Wisconsin Income'.  This is an important entry because none of your income was from WI.
